Evaluation

The Last Shot launched on February 16, 2023 and has received a steady stream of post-launch updates: a feature patch in August 2023 (Steam Deck compatibility, bug fixes, price reduction), a v2.00 update in January 2024 (bug fixes, localization, Easter eggs), and a v2.08 patch in February 2024 (animation optimizations, bug fixes). The most recent developer communication is the June 20, 2025 post announcing Update 2.8888, which fixed a recurring achievement bug and announced that The Last Shot: Arcade would release on June 24, 2025. That companion/spin-off release has now launched — it was four days away at the time of that post. The previous evaluation treated that announcement as a content_planned signal, but the release date it described (June 24, 2025) is now well in the past (today is October 8, 2026). The Arcade release was the announced content, and it has plausibly shipped on schedule. There is no post-release developer communication announcing any further content for the base game, no unreleased DLC on the store, and no roadmap pointing to anything beyond what has already shipped. The base game's post-launch update history consists of maintenance and quality-of-life patches — no sustained cadence of major expansions. The developer has not announced any further content for The Last Shot itself. With the Arcade spin-off having launched over 15 months ago and no further developer activity on record, the base game appears to be complete. The most recent substantive content activity on the base game was the June 20, 2025 update.

About this game

The Last Shot is a platforming adventure game set in a war-ravaged diesel-punk world. Militaristic cities fight endlessly with massive weaponry, all striving to be the last one standing. Rather than your typical hunky superhero, you take on the role of a humble mechanical engineer. You work tirelessly to produce the shells that are almost immediately blasted into a neighboring city’s exposed bits. Hey, it pays the bills.



However, there comes a day when your comfortable routine is interrupted and you are thrust into the outside world on a dangerous journey. To save your friends and the city you love, you must uncover a terrible conspiracy and find a way to put an end to a nefarious plan. Explore the world around you to learn more about its history and lore, solve numerous puzzles, and tinker with machinery and contraptions of all shapes and sizes.



Key Features:
  • Original hand-drawn visuals in the style of old cartoons.
  • Solve unique puzzles using your engineering wits.
  • Use your innate abilities to repair, create, or destroy vital tools and machinery.
  • Master the mechanical marvels you find along your travels. Drive all-terrain vehicles, jetpacks, armored trains, moving platforms, and so much more.
  • Explore a vast and intriguing diesel-punk world, living according to the laws of wartime. Admire the striking technology and architecture as you delve deeper to discover all of its secrets.
